The Minister noted that the veteran actress’s award was given shortly after Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam passed away, and he said, “At a time when the historic Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam has been passed by Parliament, her being awarded with this lifetime achievement award is a fitting tribute to one of the leading ladies of Indian cinema and one who has dedicated her life after films to philanthropy and the greater good of society.”
